The Laboratory

Laboratory Presentation

The Product Design Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering of Bilbao was created as a response to the interest of its Department of Graphic Design and Engineering Projects in research and technological transfer in the areas of Product Design, Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping.

The laboratory works with 3D scanners of several typologies such as Creaform's Go!Scan and Handyscan Revscan, Gom's ATOS 5M, as well as Next Engine's 3D HD Scanner. The Product Design Laboratory is equipped with two Rapid Prototyping machines: a Dimension Elite model, by Stratasys, and the Zprinter 450, by 3D Systems. It is also equipped with licenses for Reverse Engineering software such as Geomagig Design X (RapidForm XOR), Geomagic Studio, ATOS, MeshLAB and Agisoft, as well as the Geomagic Control and ATOS inspection software. Design software includes CatiaV5, Solid Edge ST, NX and SolidWorks licenses.
